Keys The ignition keys are for the ignition
only.
The door keys are for the doors and all
Ither loclts. When
a new Oldsmobile is delivered,
the dealer removes the plugs from the
door keys, and gives them to the first
owner.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells
your dealer or a qualified locltsmith
how to make extra door keys. Keep the
plugs in a safe place. If you lose your
door keys, you’ll be able to have new
ones made easily using these plugs.
The ignition keys don’t have plugs.
Your Oldsmobile dealer or Roadside
Assistance has the code for your keys. If
you need a new ignition key, contact
your Oldsrnobile dealer. In an
emergency, contact the Oldsmobile
Roadside Assistance program at
1-800-442-OLDS (6537).
NOTICE:
Your Oldsmobile has a number of
new features that
can help prevent
theft.
But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if
you ever lock your keys inside.
You
may even have to damage your
vehicle to get in.
So be sure you
have extra keys.

Door Locks

There are several ways to lock and
unlock- your -vehicle.
From the Outside:
Use your door key or Remote Lock
Control, if your vehicle has this option.
From the Inside:
To lock the door, push dowmthe
locking lever.
To tmlock, push th'e lever
UP.

Features & Controls
Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-dOOr models, the switch on each
rear door works only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the
doors-that’s a safety feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside, then
get out and close the door.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. All of the doors will lock when
you move your shift lever out
of P
(Park) or N (Neutral). Each time you
close your doors and turn on the
ignition, the doors will lock
automatically. If someone needs to get
out while the vehicle is running, have
that person use the manual or power
lock. When the door is closed again, it
will lock automatically as long as the
shift lever is out of
P (Park) or N
(Neutral). All doors will automatically
unlock when the ignition is turned off.
If you don’t want the doors to
automatically unlock when you turn the
ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control fuse in the Component Center.
See the
Index under Fuses G Circuit
Breakers .
Remote Lock Conlrol (OPTION)
If your Oldsmobile has this option, you
can lock and unlock your doors or
unlock your trunk from up to
30 feet
(9 m) away using the key chain
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Lock Control operates on
a radio frequency subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to. the
following two conditions:
(1) Thi.s
device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

To program the module, you’ll need the
transmitter and a short length of wire,
about

transmitter, press any button on it,
once, also. Wait for the loclts to fully

Your module is now

5. Disconnect the wire from the data
encoder connector and the ground.
Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your
Oldsmobile has a number of theft
deterrent features, we lmow that
nothing we put on
it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle .with
the keys inside, it’s an. easy target for

joy riders or professional thieves - so
don’t do it.
When you park your Oldsmobile and
open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
tone reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel will
be locked, and
so will your ignition and
transaxle. And remember to lock the
doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows
and lock your vehicle. Remember to
keep your valuables out of sight. Put
them in
a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will
be watching your vehicle, it’s best to
lock it up and take your keys. But what
if you have to leave your ignition key?
What if you have to leave something
valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your trunk or glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
PASS-Key@ll
Your vehicle is equipped with the
PASS-ICey@II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-ICey@II is a
passive theft deterrent system. This
means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It
worlts when you insert or remove the
ltey from the ignition. PASS-I<ey@II
uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Keys11 system senses
that someone is using the wrong ltey, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel
systems. For about three minutes, the
starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to
the engine. If someone tries to start
your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not
start. This discourages someone
from
randomly trying different keys with
different resistor pellets in an attempt to
make
a match. The
ignition key must be clean and dry
before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the
engine may not start. If the engine does
not start and the
SECURITY light is
on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the ignition
off.
Clean and dry the ltey. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security
light may remain on during this time. If
the starter still won’t work, and the ltey
appears to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try the other ignition
ltey. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuses (see
Fuses G Circuit
Breakers
in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other ltey, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Oldsmobile dealer
or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-
I<ey@II.
If you accidentally use a ltey that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work, and the
SECURITY light will come on. But you
don’t have to wait three minutes before
trying one
of the other ignition keys.

Lock Finder
On 2-door models only, pull the driver’s
door handle
to light the door lock for a
few seconds. This helps you find the
lock when it’s dark.

Trunk Lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside,
insert the door key and turn
it.

Remote Trunk Release (OPTION)
Press the yellow trunk release button
located under the instrument panel
on
the driver's side.
Your automatic transaxle must be in
P (Park).
Refiember that your trunk can be
opened at any time using the lock
release. Be sure to lock your doors.
Convenience Net (OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience
net. You'll see it just inside the back
wall of the trunk.
Put
small loads, like grocery bags,
behind the net. It can help keep them
from fdling.over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn't for larger, heavier loads.
Store them in the trunk
as far forward
as
you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will
lie flat when you're not using it.

4 New ‘vehicle ‘Break=In”
NOTICE:
Your modern Oldsmobile doesn’t
need an elaborate “break-in.” But it
will perform better
in the long run
if
you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -
fast or slow - for the first 500
miles (804 lm) . Don’t make full-
throttle
starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the
first
200 miles (322 km) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard
stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement.
Follow this
“brealing-in” guideline
every
time you get new brake linings.
